That is SO cool!

I'm still a little bummed you didn't stop in Colorado to say Hi!

 

[krid80]

my tight schedule called me to cancel several stops as well I was going to go to wyoming and nebraska but really just wanted to get home once I hit denver

Laguna Seca MotoGP in 2011!!!!! Be there or be square!!!!

Just occurred to me....I did the most miles and got mentioned only as one of the "other guys". Bah! I should have been the focal point of that article with a full front cover picture of my face!!

Lol, either way, can't wait to link up again next summer hope you can make it out again man. That was a blast. Great times.


P.S. I'll finally be posting my ride report in a couple weeks. Been waiting until I'm snowed under and on holidays before I relive the trip mile by mile. Great way to beat off the winter blues I figure.

Very cool indeed..........where will you go when you visit all the states ?

I would love to motorcycle across Europe. I don't know if I'll ever get to do that though because I am poor white folk.

Are those other forum members in that second pic?

 

[krid80]

Yes, that is lonesoldier84, jtarkany, lefty, and vegasrider and of course, me.

Oh, and i did more miles than you, lone, remember, we figured it out that it was about 200 miles shorter for your trip than mine... plus, I did it in 10 days!

Thanks to Dirk and his awesome newspaper article, I'm a celebrity somewhere other than in my own mind. :BLAA:
Now I'll be recognized whenever I'm in Illinois! :rockon:

Not on my adapted speedo with my aftermarket rear sprocket!!

 

[Erci]

That's awesome!

 

[Red Wazp]

Very nice Dirk, I'm sure you left out the part about your little speed run across Kansas. Now I'm going to have to get one of those "Krid 80 slept here" plaques for our guest room.

 

[Haelous]

Haha, there's even a shout out to the FZ6 forum in the article. That's pretty cool.

Touring like this looks like it would be a lot of fun, especially in a group.

On long trips like this, do you typically listen to music somehow or just cruise along? How often do you typically take breaks?

I've yet to ride more than 3-4 hours at a time, and no highway yet.

 

[krid80]

The speed run in Nevada was better!

 

[cap'n]

So when do you come to New England?

 

[ELIZABETH]

Congrats, Dirk!!!
Can I get your autograph??? :BLAA:

 

[krid80]

So when do you come to New England?

Maybe next year.
